Warwak told school officials that unless the middle school servedexclusively vegan lunches, which contain no animal products, Warwak would pursue a case against the school for its violation of the Illinois school code.

"The only way I'll drop charges is if the school goes vegan," Warwak said.

Warwak also has a website where one can see the depths of his passion. It goes way beyond a casual lawsuit against his peers and students. It is a whole new future where parents have even less say about their children's education and life style. It is a future where (com)paasinate teachers can further indoctrinate students in beliefs they hold and parents don't.

Warwak even published a series of e-mails in which he is chastised for deception and forcing his beliefs on students. He responds by chastising his boss and tries to (re)educate him into becoming a vegan, ergo becoming a responsible citizen shaping student's futures.

Dave,

Please see me about the display. I'm getting veryuncomfortable with the message it is sending. I really need any referenceto eating animals (meat) out of your project. It is not the positivemessage that I though it was going to be.

I'm very sorry if I misunderstood where you were going with this.

Thanks

You are correct...you don't get it. I don't shoe things under the carpet and I donot appreciate it. I will take care of the posters. You are missing the point.

Sorry you feel that way. I never told anyone to be a vegetarian. I think students should have all the facts and make their own decisions. I thought we want students to beinformed decision makers. I thought nutrition was taught in school. Irespect life and I am taking responsibility (that is the correlation). Thisstarted because of students at our school, our students, are killing animals forfun - killing birds and squirrels - anything that moves. I thought I wouldconfront the issue instead of shoeing it under the carpet for fear of phonecalls. I am not sure which posters you are referring to. I cantake them all down if you wish.

Dave,

This Peep project seems to be turning into a PETA advertisement. I don't like tying in the schools moto of respect and responsibility to a vegetarian diet. I don't see thecorrelation and I don't want to be fielding phone calls that we are pushing anagenda on the students or other staff that is not the opinion of thedistrict. I think a couple of the posters take this too far and maybe someof the display. Please be careful not to have this back fire.

The notion that non-vegetarians support cruelty to animals....even if true.....I'm not using our school as a soap box for this opinion. Please remove the posters that indicate that students should not eat meat. I'm sorry if I led you to believe that I supported promotingbeing a vegetarian, and that not being one, was bad.

This is the info that was too long to read (which I know is very serious indeed) but change means work

This guy sounds like a stalker in his e-mail, especially one that has no sense of the "nuance" of "you don't get it".

I love the part where he cites the heir of the Baskins & Robbins fortune as an expert who has researched diet. Of course, being a reality based type of guy, Warwak realizes an ice cream heir might not be persuasive enough so he goes for the old bribe'em with coffee and bagels trick to get teachers to read his crap.
